MKDIR, CHMOD not doing its job under PHP environment?

[irock]

Hi I try to run a loop to create some directories...

$dir = "/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/solutions/data/$p";
mkdir('$dir', 0777);
chmod('$dir', 0777 );

While the mkdir works, the directory privileges aren't 777.

Anyone knows why?

I'm running this script on PHP 4.2.2.

Are you sure mkdir [php.net] and chmod [php.net] are working? IŽd expect them to not create the directory you want them to since $dir is contained within single quotes and thus no variable interpolation takes place.

$dir = "/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/solutions/data/$p";  
mkdir($dir, 0777); 

should work.
